Noble Emblem

Seeing that Beta was unwilling to have a Gruxon, Amanda just smiled, understanding.

Although the Grusuns generally possess strong fighting capabilities, this nation is notoriously capricious. They often regret things they have clearly agreed upon before the next day.

They have a rather bad reputation, but their fighting prowess makes up for it. Therefore, they serve as guards in many caravans. At the same time, this is also a quite contradictory nation. Although they like to go back on their word, they are extremely persistent when it comes to fighting. As long as an enemy appears, they will fight until the enemy dies or they are unable to move.

Their contradictory personalities make people of other ethnic groups have mixed reviews about them. Many people will hire them as caravan guards and bind them with heavy contracts, but even so, they still like to tear up the promises they made not long ago.

Therefore, many people do not like Grusuns appearing in caravans.

Considering that her clients also had this tendency, Amanda looked through her thick records, then closed it and said: "There are now thirteen caravans suitable for you. You need to hear about their status. "

Generally speaking, caravans that need their own are already on the verge of bankruptcy, or otherwise have various situations of their own. So sometimes a caravan is acquired, or a trouble comes back.

Beta pointed his finger at the table and said, "Please introduce one to me. I believe in your professional vision."

Amanda thought for a while and said, "How about the 'Black-tailed Scorpion' caravan?"

"Black-tailed scorpion?" Beta's eyebrows twitched slightly: "This name sounds impressive enough."

Amanda smiled and said: "The Black-tailed Scorpion Caravan currently has fifty-three people, and each one of them is a veteran of traveling merchants. Moreover, they have not had any records of corruption before. I think they should be very suitable for your business." Team."

Shirley was a little curious: "Since they are all veterans of traveling merchants, they should be able to make a profit. Why are they in a hurry to sell the caravan?"

"Because they are very unlucky." Amanda said with a sigh: "They encountered unexpected situations three times in a row. The first time was a flash flood that closed the road for nearly a month. When they arrived, By the time we arrived at the destination, the market had passed, so the goods were only cheap, and we lost a lot of money.”

"The second time we encountered robbers, they were most likely dressed as soldiers." Amanda sighed deeply, as if she felt that the caravan was worthless: "There are too many people on the other side, and they have no way to resist. Fortunately, the mysterious army only took away their goods and did not take their lives."

"The third time, the fate was even more ridiculous. They were transporting precious shimmering fish meat and planned to cross the desert. As long as the business could succeed this time, they would not only be able to make back their previous losses, but even make a slight surplus. As a result, Unfortunately……"

"Have you been robbed again?" Shirley asked.

Amanda shook her head: "There was a tornado, and they were all blown away. But miraculously, every one of them was fine afterwards. At most, they suffered some minor injuries, but the goods and the donkey cart were all gone. They were walking Our route is near the edge of the desert. Logically speaking, there should be no cyclones there."

Shirley whispered: "It's really unlucky."

"The Black-tailed Scorpion Chamber of Commerce, which was originally a good company, turned into a bankrupt caravan." Amanda smiled bitterly: "And because they were unlucky three times in a row, no one dared to acquire them, even if they had a good business record in the past. .”

"Since they are so unlucky, why do you want to introduce them to us?" Shirley was a little confused: "Although we are not afraid of bad luck, it is not a happy thing to encounter them."

Even on Earth in the information age, human beings are extremely afraid of such mysterious and mysterious things as misfortune. What's more, in this magical world, there is destiny, and no one wants to be involved in misfortune.

"No, they are just unlucky." Amanda said firmly: "This has absolutely nothing to do with bad luck, I can guarantee that."

Shirley was a little amused: "You don't understand magic, and you don't have divinity. How can you be so sure that they are not suffering from bad luck?"

"Although I don't understand, we have professionals to make the assessment." Amanda gave a slight bow to Shirley: "Madam, please rest assured that we will never lie in this regard."

lady! This word had great appeal to Shirley. When she heard Amanda say this, she immediately smiled and stopped refuting anything.

Professionals! When Beta hears this word, he always feels a little bad. After all, on earth, this word has changed its flavor.

"Since you admire them so much, tell me their methods." Beta took out a gold coin from his space backpack and bounced it on the table: "If you can take us there and act as a lobbyist in the center, then This gold coin is yours."

With a swish sound, the gold coin that had just fallen on the table disappeared in an instant. Amanda's hand speed with money is comparable to that of a professional. After receiving the gold coins, she smiled and said, "Your Excellency is so generous. Please come with me."

About ten minutes later, Amanda took the Beta trio to a mansion near the North City.

On the way over, Beta discovered that the spies who were monitoring him were also coming over. But they behaved very professionally. If it weren't for Joan of Arc monitoring these people in the sky, even Beta would just treat them as ordinary people.

However, those people still did not show any hostility, so Beta let it go and turned his attention to the building in front of him.

It is not much different from other mansions in Javea. This building is also made of white rocks. The smooth wall reflects the cold light in the winter sun.

There was no one in the garden, just overgrown weeds. It can be seen from here that this residence has not been taken care of for a while.

Amanda walked to the door and rang the doorbell. After a while, a middle-aged man with almost white hair came out.

His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and although his clothes looked quite gorgeous, his face was not very good, and he looked obviously decadent and melancholy.

When he saw Amanda, the middle-aged man smiled with deep bitterness: "Amanda, long time no see."

"Uncle Chad, long time no see." Amanda smiled at the middle-aged man and said: "I will help you bring you a noble man who is willing to join your caravan. You can chat, I will listen on the side if necessary. , I can help you supplement."

Chad, who was originally a little melancholy, immediately became more energetic when he heard this. He quickly walked two steps in front of Beta, performed the etiquette of a commoner meeting a noble, and then said: "Thank you for coming to my home, please come in, we can have lunch and chat at the same time."

The middle-aged man glanced at Shirley and Jessica at the same time, and then showed a look of surprise.

However, he knew how to measure his position, and his eyes only stayed briefly for a moment before moving away from Shirley's face.

Then he led a few people into the small white building.

The living room is simple, with white stone tiles on the floor. Originally there were precious animal skin rugs here, but because the owner was short of money, they have now been pawned.

After they sat down in the living room, an ordinary-looking maid came out and brought fruit wine and some simple pastries.

With a look on his face, Chad said: "Sir, madam, I'm sorry. I know these things are not worthy of your status, but this is the best food I can do now."

Beta said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, we are here to negotiate a deal, not to eat."

Shirley picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Jessica.

Chad sighed: "Thank you for your consideration."

Amanda said from the side: "Okay, Uncle Chad, please stop saying so many polite words. The noble master is very busy, so please tell me your conditions quickly."

"Okay." Chad looked at Beta, paused and said, "Our caravan still has the same number of people as before, and we also know how to do business. The difficulty we are encountering now is nothing more than a lack of money. As long as With money, our caravan can be reborn. How about you buy our caravan, it will definitely be a good buy."

Beta nodded: "Amanda has told me all this. I just want to know how much money you need to be willing to own your caravan. Or what other conditions are required."

"There are two conditions." Chad glanced at Beta and saw that he showed no signs of anger, so he continued: "First, I must remain the person in charge of the Black-tailed Scorpion Caravan. Second, Your Excellency, you cannot Interfering with our business practices."

Beta was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You mean, I spend money to buy a man to come back and support him?"

"Of course that's not what I mean." Chad explained: "Because of the traveling merchant business, the market for goods changes rapidly. If you are proficient in business skills, you should be able to understand what I mean. I hope that the caravan can make its own decisions on its business behavior. Of course, All the money I earn belongs to you, and this will never change."

Beta thought for a while and asked: "Can't give in? I need a caravan that can obey my orders, and the second most important thing is to make money."

Chad shook his head and sighed: "Black-tailed Scorpion is like my child. If I can't make the decision, then I would rather Black-tailed Scorpion be removed from the list."

Amanda said anxiously: "Uncle Chad, you are stupid. This noble man doesn't care about your misfortune, but you still dislike the east and the west? If this continues, when will you be able to control the caravan? You know, You owe someone else a huge debt."

Chad looked a little disappointed, but he still shook his head and said, "My conditions will not change."

Amanda was so angry that she really said something, but at this time Beta stood up: "In that case, forget it. I'll go and see other people. Amanda, take me to find other caravan traders." "

With a long sigh, Amanda stood up, looked at Chad helplessly, turned around and left with Beta. (To be continued.)
